  2. Hi Dassna, thank you for the amazing content on this site. I do most of my cooking after referring it here. Thanks a million for such meticulous posts. I wanted to know that if I am baking pizza in a microwave oven at 200 deg then for how long do we have to bake it there?5 stars

    1. thanks preeti. glad to know the blog is helping you. in a microwave oven, due to the convection mode the baking is faster. so just bake till the cheese melts. also in a microwave oven in convection mode, use a metal pan or a pizza stone as it will help in getting the base crisp and golden. don’t keep the pizza directly on the glass of the microwave oven as then it will brown and remain soft. in case the cheese has melted and the base is not golden, then keep for some more minutes till the base gets crisp and golden. the cheese will brown by this time.

  3. Hi
    I am regular reader of ur recipes n follow them many a times
    Actually m having one issue I use Sunflame cooking range, my problem is whenever I bake a cake it bakes well from d bottom comes out soft n spongy but it’s upper layer doesn’t gets brown it remains white or sticky it doesn’t hav any grill on the top in d oven section
    How can I make my cake brown from the top as well

    1. okay. thats the reason the cake does not come brown. what you can do is keep a cake pan or tray on the top rack above the cake. e.g. if you are keeping the cake in the middle rack, keep the pan on the top rack above it. it should be placed just on top of the cake. the cake pan will behave like a conductor of heat and so there will be some browning from the top. i hope there is enough space in the oven for you to do this. or else you can try covering the pan with an aluminium foil or a baking lid and see if the top gets browned.

    1. sakshi, 900 watt is the rate at which electric energy is dissipated in the oven. it is is not the temperature at which baking is done. temperature is an altogether different unit and one which is used to measure heat. for e.g. the OTG i have has 2000 watts but the temperature in which baking is done is completely different. the unit to calculate temperature is celsius or fahrenheit. in any oven the temperature ranges from 0 degree celsius to 200 or 250 or 300 degrees celsius.

      looks like you have a microwave oven. if there is convection mode option in your oven, then you can use 200 degrees celsius. most microwave ovens have maximum temperatures till 200 degrees celsius. this pizza cannot be made in the microwave mode. but can be baked only in the convection mode of a microwave oven.

  4. Hi Dassana,
    I am such a fan of your cooking. You really have God’s blessing. Whatever I have tried from your recipes have come out so great, except the leavening part of breads using yeast:-( Somehow I am not able to do that perfectly.. I have tried it in Delhi winters, so maybe the temp has something to do with it.. May God always keep up your enthusiasm and passion. Also your photos and step wise methods are life savers, Stay blessed and happy. I will also try this one.5 stars

    1. thanks a lot shilpi for this encouraging comment.

      for the leavening of bread dough, firstly use a good quality instant yeast or dry active yeast. most indian brands do not give good results. also during winters, the time taken for the first rise or second rise is more than during summers. so if you see that the dough has not doubled up, then keep it for some more time. in winters i usually keep the dough in the sun. do try this recipe also.
